First time in a long time I've seen FTFY used literally. Have an upvote

First time in a long time I’ve seen "literally" used right. Have an upvote.

I honestly appreciate that someone else cares enough about that word to upvote me for it. Thank you for being you

Literally can literally be used metaphorically:

The use of literally in a fashion that is hyperbolic or metaphoric is not new—evidence of this use dates back to 1769.

So getting upset about the way a word has been used since before the founding of the US is literally the dumbest thing someone could be mad about. 😁
